Built for macOS Tahoe

Record meetings. Don't hand them to the cloud.

Daisy is a native Mac app that captures audio, transcribes on‑device with Whisper, and writes a clean summary — all without your recording ever touching a server you don't own.

How it works →

Final touches before public beta · Apple Silicon · macOS 26+

What it does

The whole meeting workflow, sitting quietly in the corner of your screen.

Records what everyone said

Captures your microphone and the other side of the call together — Zoom, Meet, Telegram, anything that plays audio on your Mac. No bot in the meeting, no link to install.

Transcribes on your machine

Whisper Large v3, running on the Neural Engine. The model downloads once (~626 MB) and stays local. Russian, English, and 90+ other languages.

Summarises however you want

Use Apple Intelligence offline, or bring your own key for Claude or GPT. Pick once in Settings, swap whenever. Daisy never holds the key for you.

The deal

Your meetings stay on your Mac.

Every other meeting tool wants your transcripts on their server — for indexing, for AI training, for whatever they haven’t told you yet. Daisy doesn’t. Here’s exactly what that means.

  • Recordings live in your Library folder

    Daisy writes to ~/Library/Containers/app.essazanov.Daisy/. Inspect, copy, delete — they’re yours, on your disk. No “feature” that uploads them “for your convenience”.

  • Transcription runs on the Neural Engine

    Whisper Large v3 ships with the app. Your audio is decoded into text by your own Mac, the same chip that does Face ID and Live Text. We don’t see it.

  • Summaries — your call, your key

    Apple Intelligence works fully offline. If you bring an Anthropic or OpenAI key, that traffic goes from your machine straight to their API. Daisy is not a proxy. We never see your meetings or your key.

  • No telemetry. No tracking. No account

    Daisy doesn’t phone home. There’s no signup, no email, no “pro plan” that unlocks if we know who you are. You install. It works.

Coming soon

Final passes before we hand it over.

Daisy is in private beta with a handful of users. The signed public build drops here in days, not weeks. No email collection, no “we’ll let you know” — just refresh this page.

FAQ

Questions we get.

Which Macs does it run on?

Apple Silicon Macs (M1 / M2 / M3 / M4) running macOS Tahoe 26 or newer. Intel Macs aren’t supported — the on-device transcription needs the Neural Engine to be fast enough to be invisible.

How does it capture the other side of the call?

ScreenCaptureKit — Apple’s system audio API. The first time you record, macOS will prompt you for Screen & System Audio Recording permission. Daisy never enters the meeting; it just listens to what your speakers were about to play.

What languages does the transcription support?

Russian, English, and roughly 90 others. The model is Whisper Large v3 — the same one that powers a lot of professional transcription tools. Quality is comparable to cloud services, just running locally.

Why bring my own AI key for summaries?

So the cost is yours, not ours. Apple Intelligence works without any key and stays offline — but if you want Claude or GPT-quality summaries, plug in your own API key in Settings. Daisy never sees the key or the prompt; the request goes from your Mac to the provider directly.

Is it free?

Free during beta. Pricing later will be a one-time purchase or a small subscription — not based on minutes recorded, not based on how many summaries you make. We don’t want to be in the business of metering your meetings.

Who makes Daisy?

Built by Addicted Studio — a small forensic software studio. We make tools we’d want to use ourselves. Daisy was first an internal tool for client interviews; we shipped it because we kept being asked.
